Let's flip that on its head. Why are people not prepping for emergencies? Who do you think is going to save or feed you?

It is still compiled into nginx by default. That is one of the reasons I have to compile it myself. That would suggest a number of people still use it.

This is a great idea. I would make it configurable, with a vaguely worded configuration directive like: DisableAutoDisable I_Know_What_I_Am_Doing Then add logic that prefers up to date nodes over out of date nodes, if that does no

That is a good question. One use case that comes to mind is sshd. The ssh daemon is not required to use pam.

There is talk of extending crypt in glibc to support external libraries [0] and that would do exactly as you suggest. [0] - https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16814 And certainly, if you move the authentic

Not related to speed at all. glibc needs to add the support for them and it doesn't exist, at least not in the older branches that all the commercially supported distros use. There is talk of adding support for external libraries. [0]

The DoS aspect is mitigated via pam and user management controls in the OS (for creating /etc/shadow entries). scrypt and bcrypt are a long ways out for supported Linux distros. This depends on glibc to make changes that they hav

It would be so much less overhead to require adult sites and user content driven sites to simply add the RTA adult header and put the responsibility on parents to use parental control software. It looks like this: rating RTA-5042-1996

There is a drinking water appliance in our breakroom that will not dispense water if it can not reach the internet. This is not the world we should be engineering. Actually, I would say, this is not engineering.

I agree in principal with what you are saying. There are certainly cases inside of FB that this could help, assuming they are not just doing simple hashing. In my opinion, I believe they should extend their service via an API or hash datab

That would be great. Are there any links that suggest Facebook is using this?

This would be a useful service if their system could detect signs of skin cancer. In terms of squelching revenge porn, I do not see how this would remove anything from non facebook servers. Is 4chan going to integrate with this? Are they

There is a great BBC documentary that talks about this war on the brain called "Century of the Self" [0]. It's four hours long, but the first hour covers the gist of it. It goes into the want vs need and how businesses have

I've noticed a lot of the spammers have vanished. Good point. I am certainly lazy enough to not stand up more servers or buy feeds again.

Discord is an interesting idea, though I am not a fan of them retaining all messages forever.

I might spin up some NNTP servers if there was enough interest. I would likely keep it text-only.

I understand what you are saying, but I am not required to have a time source, which makes the entire requirement optional.

by LinuxBender 9y ago
Except that, MUST becomes SHOULD because I am not required to have a time source. The exception negates the requirement.

Proxies used to (and some still do) compare last-modified and date, if the date header is present. [0] They are not required to trust this header as accurate. For reference around and clarification around the Date header, the "should&

They list "date" as being required by protocol. This is not true. The term used in the RFC is "should". It is a nice to have, for additional validation by proxies. In haproxy, you can discard it with: http-respo

I completely understand. In my case, every one of my scripts has my name and email in it. They won't hesitate to reach out to me if something is broken. :-)

I write long bash and perl scripts. I keep things neat and tidy most of the time. My "temporary workarounds" are still in use today, in production, so I must have written them well enough for people to understand. I see a lot o
